With Halloween just around the bend, everyone wonders: what costumes will we wear, and what decor will grace our spaces? But beyond the aesthetics lies a crucial question for entrepreneurs and Shopify store owners: how can we optimize our online shop to capitalize on the Halloween buzz?
Halloween is a great time of the year for shop owners to earn money, making it one of the most profitable times of the year. The NRF (National Retail Federation) estimated that “in the US, 2.6 billion total will be spent on decorations, with per-person spending just shy of $30”. Prices increase as Halloween approaches. How can you become successful this time of the year?
This is a perfect opportunity for Shopify shop owners to make good money for products such as materials for a haunted house, costumes, and treats for trick-or-treaters. University students all around are spending a good amount of money on costumes over the course of a week. Meaning, the more shopping being done the more money being spent. Now, who is ready to trick or treat?
